Children of Gaza

One war and one day

The children in Gaza

They say the word

“War”

First

And after they say

Mom

 

Children in Gaza

They all tattoo their names in their arms

Because a day is too short

And maybe until the end of night

They will become Angels

 

There is a whole world in the

West Bank

A kindergarten that bad dragons attack for a long time ago

Nobody helps

Nobody support

Nobody cares

 

The blood is cooling everywhere in Gaza

In the school

In the streets

 

Where the children supposed to play and laugh

Bombs have destroy the houses

 

Children in Gaza

Are born heroes

From their mother’s belly

 

Children in Gaza

They fight since they are born

Do not dare close your eyes

In this unfair reality

 

Don’t close your eyes in this genocide

Stand up for the children of Gaza

***

Happy Birthday

Happy birthday

Ahmed

Happy birthday

Mohamed

 

How old are you?

I am a year of war and one day

And you?

I am 2 years of war and 3 days

Let’s celebrate this special day, My brother and sister

Tomorrow the war will divide us

Children with no eyes

No legs

No ears

No smile

No faces

 

Children of Gaza

Innocent children

In sacred earth

That they sacrifice

To Evil

 

Prayers for children of Gaza

Prayers to stop this madness

Prayers to stop this genocide

 

Stop the blood of innocent children
